was just wondering if anyone can give me all the details of the best way to store my engine as it won't be going for six months. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png oil it up? then turn it over? all help appriciated. thanks.

Dump a bunch of two stroke oil in the intake, spin it around by hand until it's puking out the exhaust.





Donezo.







Worked awesome for me, my motor sat 9 months or something just like that, fired up awesome when I used it again.

Fogging Spray is your friend in this situation:

my car has sat for 6 months as is, 6 months is not that long

i let one of my gsl-se's sit for a couple years, one of those was in a field, it fired right up and ran like a champ and saw plenty of track days after that....

Ditto.

Someone told me that if you let a rotary sit for too long (from what he said more than a year) the apex seals will go bad and the engine will seize. Is that true?

its true about 1% of the time, the other 99% of the time you can leave the motor out in the rain for years and it will fire right up and run like a champ

the apex seals dont go bad, there gets to be a thin layer of rust that locks them to the rotor housing





also the springs get non-moistened from no oil and when they spin around they get stuck in the down position











you know what you could do if you were really worried about it, dump a buttload of two stroke in the intake the day you are going to fire it up, then turn it over













i bet it would run like a champ

cheers for the advice, think i'll check some 2 stroke in there just to be safe. i'll smoke out the neighbours at my new house when i get back, ha ha ha. thanks heaps. knowledge IS power!
